Hi guys, my friend has a beatiful ducky shine 5 RGB, and today ask me if in the future he could change keycaps without lose backlight.
Are there some keycaps set for RGB/backlite keyboard? PBT or ABS doubleshot? :D
Thankssssssssssss :thumb:

Sorry on my phone at the moment so can't link properly. I have a set on my Shine 5 at the moment and they are great for their price. Minr arrived in a week of ordering them. Would recommend if you're in a budget.

There is this Vortex PBT+POM backlit compatible set that is double shot (1st shot pbt, 2nd shot pom). I have this set and it works, only complaints I have are the legends are a bit fuzzy and the number row will only show the symbol lit instead of the numbers due to the placement of the legends.

Being in Italy, does your friend have an ISO layout keyboard?
Keycap sets might be a bit harder to find, but Ducky themselves do make a few backlight-friendly replacement sets.

This is the keyboard, so they layout is ANSI :D https://www.amazon.co.uk/Ducky-Channel-Mechanical-Keyboard-Lighting/dp/B018LVLICS/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1461491754&sr=8-1&keywords=ducky+shine+5

Check with your friend, sometimes Ducky use photos of the ANSI layout k-boards when the layout is a ISO layout.

This is from a Swedish shop sellin ISO/Nordic Ducky Shine 5 RGB/ Ducky One k-boards, we have/use the ISO/Nordic layout here in Sweden.
But in the links, you have photos of the ANSI layout k-board.

I'm so confused. Are the cap sizes on both them boards different? How does the Ducky one look so much smaller than the Shine?

Standard bottom row size on the ANSI/Ducky One RGB YOTG and on the ISO/Nordic Ducky Shine 3.
The only caps size different is the ISO "Big Ass Enter" and the ISO Left Shift.
The 2 orange Pumpkin caps on the Ducky One RGB don't belong to the Jukebox SA set.

I think it's just the perspective playing tricks on my eyes. It really looks like a whole numpad section smaller.
